Purdue "data information literacy" studies

Purdue University has a number of sets of material that they have developed to teach data information literacy in different subject areas. "Each of the DIL case studies includes a description of the educational program and any accompanying supporting materials such as syllabi, lesson plans, rubrics, exercises or other learning objects." The most recent is:
Johnston, Lisa and Jeffryes, Jon (2015). Teaching Civil Engineering Data Information Literacy Skills: An e-Learning Approach. Data Information Literacy Case Study Directory, 3(1), Article 1. http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/dilcs/vol3/iss1/1/

Information Literacy is ...

"the adoption of appropriate information behaviour to identify, through whatever channel or medium, information well fitted to information needs, leading to wise and ethical use of information in society." (Webber and Johnston)
